Creating Momentum: How to Get a Record Deal

Hello! On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Barry Bergman and today I am going to give you tips on how to get a record deal. In the age of technology that we are in today, you need a lot more than just the demo to get signed. The labels have been hurting to the point where they are being a lot more fussy about who they sign. You therefore need to have something going with your demo. It's not just good enough today to have music. All the labels do research and they are looking to find out if your act is playing out anywhere, can you sell tickets, do you have a song on the radio, do you have a big e-mail list, do you have any sort of a following. You need something more than just the music today to solidify and give a label to be a reason to be excited about you. Because the cost of doing business today is so excessive and so expensive, that they are looking to limit their risk any way possible.
